Consult Dr. Amit Garud, a leading Orthopedic Surgeon in Kalyan, for expert sports injury and bone trauma care. If you twisted your ankle playing football on Kalyan's local turfs, it might not be a simple sprain—it could be a fracture.
High traction on synthetic turf often traps your foot while your body rotates, leading to severe ankle twists. While a sprain heals with rest, unstable ankle fractures or syndesmosis (high ankle) tears require timely orthopedic surgery to prevent permanent joint damage.
Red Flags to Watch For: Inability to Bear Weight: You cannot stand or walk immediately after the twist. Severe Swelling: Quick fluid buildup accompanied by sharp bone pain. Instability: The joint feels loose or out of place.
For unstable fractures, Dr. Amit Garud performs Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgery using plates and screws. This open surgical repair restores the ankle's alignment, prevents early arthritis, and ensures a safe return to sports.
